Compounded tirzepatide
Elara Health and Wellness review
Elara Health and Wellness sells compounded tirzepatide as part of a program at $339 a month, billed monthly. That single fee also pays for quarterly metabolic labs and a certified health coach. You're charged only if a physician approves you, and a monthly plan can be canceled without a fee.

Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want lab work and coaching folded into the monthly price instead of bought separately.
- You'd like to know the dispensing pharmacies by name before you sign up.
- You want to try a month without committing to a prepaid plan.
Look elsewhere if
- You only want the medication and would rather not pay for coaching and labs you won't use.
- You prefer to cancel online, since Elara handles cancellations through its care team.
What you get
The $339 monthly plan bundles four things: the compounded tirzepatide if it's prescribed, physician-guided care, quarterly metabolic labs and certified health coaching. Elara's FAQ says there are no enrollment fees and no separate lab charges. Tirzepatide comes as a weekly injection only. The site quotes one program price for it and lists no separate price by dose.
Elara is run by JTE Medical, LLC. The physicians belong to Openloop Healthcare Partners, PC, the medical group Elara works with. Prescriptions are filled by one of four 503A compounding pharmacies it names: RedRock Pharmacy in Utah, Health Warehouse in Kentucky, Precision Compounding Pharmacy in New York and Triad Rx in Alabama. Medication ships to your door monthly.
Longer prepaid terms of 3, 6 and 13 months lower the monthly equivalent. The 13-month plan is paid in one charge up front.
How it works
- Take the free online health assessment, which Elara says takes about 5 minutes. Starting it doesn't buy a plan.
- A board-certified Openloop physician reviews your history and may order labs before deciding. If you're not approved, you pay nothing.
- If tirzepatide is prescribed, you confirm the plan and billing schedule, and a partner pharmacy prepares and ships the injection.
- Your physician adjusts the dose as you go, with quarterly labs and coaching sessions along the way.
- The monthly plan renews each month until you cancel through the care team.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Quarterly metabolic labs and a certified health coach are included in the $339 monthly fee.
- Elara names all four compounding pharmacies, including RedRock Pharmacy and Triad Rx, and links to their state license lookups.
- The FAQ says you won't be charged if an Openloop physician decides treatment isn't right for you.
Cons
- Canceling means emailing or calling the care team, open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern.
- Once a month's medication ships, Elara's refund policy makes that month nonrefundable.
- Leaving a 3, 6 or 13-month prepaid plan early recalculates the months you used at a shorter plan's higher rate.
Check before you pay
- Which billing schedule you pick
- The monthly plan is $339. The 3, 6 and 13-month plans cost less per month but are paid up front. Confirm the schedule on screen before you enroll.
- Timing a cancellation
- Canceling stops the next renewal. If you reach the care team before the pharmacy fills that period's prescription, Elara says it will work to refund the unfilled order.
- Lab visits
- Quarterly labs may mean a trip to a participating collection site. Ask the care team where yours would be.

Elara Health and Wellness questions
- Is Elara Health and Wellness legit?
- Elara is operated by JTE Medical, LLC and lists a BBB accreditation. Board-certified physicians at Openloop Healthcare Partners, PC decide on prescriptions, and four named 503A pharmacies fill them. The tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't FDA-approved, and Elara says so on its own pages.
- How much is Elara Health and Wellness tirzepatide per month?
- $339 a month on the monthly plan, billed each month. That covers the medication, physician care, quarterly labs and coaching. Prepaid 3, 6 and 13-month plans bring the monthly equivalent down. Elara's injectable semaglutide program is $249 a month.
- Does Elara Health and Wellness take insurance?
- No. It's a self-pay program, and insurance isn't needed. Elara says HSA or FSA cards may work depending on your plan.
- Can you cancel Elara Health and Wellness?
- Yes. Contact the care team by phone or email. Monthly plans carry no cancellation fee, though a month whose medication has already shipped isn't refunded.
- Which states does Elara Health and Wellness serve?
- All 50 states and Washington, DC, according to Elara, subject to change. Your address is checked during the assessment, and you aren't charged if your state isn't served.
